This move means that the only beer available at Blue Jays games will be those from Labatt Breweries and partner brands in the AB InBev family, making the Rogers Centre the only stadium in Major League Baseball to not offer local craft beer to game attendees.

The BlogTO article notes that Steam Whistle has been gracious in their response to the move, thanking fans for their support last year and encouraging pre- and post-game visits to the brewery, which is located just across the street from Rogers Centre. They will also be holding Season Opener celebrations at the brewery on Friday April 4th to Sunday April 6th, as detailed on the Steam Whistle website.

Not sure how we are supposed to visit them when they always seem to be hosting a private event. Each of the 5 times I’ve tried visiting on a Friday or Saturday evening they’ve been closed to the public…

I wouldn’t buy any beer at Rogers Centre period…..for the prices they charge, $11.50 for a 473ml can, seriously? Steam Whistle is a one trick pony anyway….kudos to them for sticking with one beer since the beginning, but the thing is….its not a very good tasting pilsner anyway.

Wow, way to look out for your customers…. People love not having choice, and five versions of light lager is not choice…. The rest of the world is embracing craft beer and Toronto takes a big step back.

Its crappiola anyways. How about offering the Amsterdam Boneshaker IPA or something from Great Lakes, both local. I hate, hate, hate any food stand that is run by Aramark. Their employees look miserable (so they get crappy wages and treated poorly), they ration food portions like there’s a food shortage even though you’re paying premium and the end result is a mess. Please boycott Aramark.
